Average CAP Flt Training Costs / AC Availability

[WT]

Yeah, but you forgot to tell you had "millions" of hours on flight sim.  See ya in a few weeks, Capt DG!

[SJFedor]

Haha, not millions, but I would definitely have a star and wreath on my wings if it all counted.... 

[DG]

Allstar, Fedor?

I still have that tire.

Should I take a picture of it and put it on here for all to see and ask for critique?

[SarDragon]

Oh, this sounds good. You have my affirmative vote!

[SJFedor]

Allstar, Fedor?

I thought I recognized those initials....

It's one of those lessons learned. And besides, you passed me on my solo stage check 

[SAR-EMT1]

I believe a story needs to be told.

All in favor say Aye !

[SJFedor]

Long story short, I was a post-solo student working on short field landings in a 172 I hadn't really flown much before. Put it down and got on the brakes a little harder then I needed to, and put a nice bald spot in the tires. Must have landed on the same spot a few times because, the next day, I was partway through one of my solo XC's and noticed the tire started to have cord showing. Stopped the flight, made phone calls, and got the tire replaced at the field I was at. Continued on my merry way.

If DG is the person I think he is, he kept the tire, partially as a teaching aide, and partially to bust my cohones about it, even 4 years later

[DG]

Fair enough, Captain Steven.

As a teaching aid, the identities of individuals never are and never will be disclosed.  Including the instructor who endorsed you and released you in that a/c for your long solo cross-country. 

And it is good, from time to time, to bring you down to earth.

What is it with you DYL people?    

[DG]

Capt DG refers to the fact that Fedor was named the "Distinguished Graduate" Mission Pilot at the 2007 NESA MAS.

And WT was his Instructor Mission Pilot.

[WT]

Which, one would conclude, obviously he learned much from his past "learnings" and that it was a teaching aid!

I think its amazing that one wing could have such variety in airframes.

Ive been in CAP for about eight years and I still have yet to see the bottom four.

Then again, Ive never yet seen a CAP Colonel.

I think you have to look at how often those airframes are even available within the wing.  The GA-8 is a region asset so it's not always gonna be in the same wing.  I have a feeling the 206 mentioned is NER too, but PAWG might have their own. 

Also, don't you have to get to a wing conference anyhow to complete your PD requirements and see a Col once.

What is it with you DYL people?    

I'm a rehabilitated DYL person 

And it is good, from time to time, to bring you down to earth. 

You were always the one person screaming insisting that I focus.

[Then again, Ive never yet seen a CAP Colonel.

  If you ever meet me, take a look at the back of my pants.  For some reason I tend to have a CAP Col on it most of the time.

Kissing, Kicking Chewing or Riding?

That about takes care of it.....

Then its time for you to spend a little time up North where people live.   

We had a Maule about 6 years ago, the Region GA-8 is at Wing HQ, and we had generals and colonels at the Region conference, guided training event I'm sure there were a few (Colonels) at Johnson, and there are bound to be several at Summer.
